Excellent stuff, so happy to see someone else putting out some content like this. Hopefully you can get into a little detail with the when and why's of making adjustments on the track suspension. The ski shock adjustments are a little more intuitive but I feel like the track suspension is a little bit of a black art that few people really understand. Looking forward to it!
Another great video, suspension and clutching is always over done. You have a way of explaining that is direct and simple. Simplicity is key especially when it's easy to get lost or confused on what does what and when.... This will be watched for centuries.... Lol... 🤘🏻
Bad ass video, broski!!!! You're alot like me, I prefer to do all my own work instead of taking it to the shops. Love videos like this. However I ride a 2019 alpha 1 m8 165. Was leaning towards Polaris but decided I'd try out the monorail chassis. Keep up the good work bro. Lifes good!🤘⚡🔥
Hey Chief if you had a 17' Pro and were considering a suspension upgrade but could only do it in pairs, would you do the skid or front end first? I ride Island Park/Alpine/Pine Creek area, nowhere near your skill level but I know these ol' Walker Evans are gettin tired haha. Gonna love this series - looking forward to watching these while on a quick lunch at work!
Thank you Brett. My 2020 Khaos is very soft (tippy)in the front end at low speeds. It always wants to roll the wrong way on flat ground. Hopefully the low speed clicker can make it better.
@@turcotte16 I rode all last year looking at the clickers but not wanting to mess with the "black magic". But your short video has simplified it and made me want to mess around and see what I can do to make it better. Thank you.
Simple and consice! Thanks I have a question if you put say in inch of two inches the spring shrinks right ? Does compressing it give it more or less bottoming?
For every inch you compress the spring, it will increase the spring rate x amount of what ever the spring rate is. Essentially the more you compress the spring, the less you will bottom out. There’s only so much you should go before start increasing the fatigue rate of the spring.
I don’t suggest going more than 1.5” of pre load, the valving inside the shock should be what is doing the bulk of the dampening. The spring is not typically used to resist bottoming on its own
Definitely! The spring should mostly be to take the load of the sprung mass and determine ride frequency. A factor of suspension characteristics like suspension geometry.
Nice work! Do you have any ideas how to keep the pipe from rubbing on the bumper if you put a lightweight silencer on it? I’ve tried SLP and The Thing on the new Matryx RMK, and they both cause the pipe to shift position and rub. It squeaks as it rubs when going down a bumpy trail. Thanks!
In the middle of pipe it has a small bracket (goes straight down) it’s rests on. If you add a 1/2” thick washer onto the rubber plug it will move the pipe away from the bumper. Worked for. No more rubbing.
